Michael knew them all so well he did not need to note the names. If someone looking at them can name even a few, I’d love to publish them.

Fly Fishing in North Kerry

Twice
each year I travel to a remote part of North Kerry to take some time out with
some close friends and family. Fortunatley my 74 year old father Aiden was able
to travel on this adventure. My angling companions on this occasion were Aiden
Willis,Tom Wilson,Noel Fitzpatrick and Brendan O Sullivan. Warm sunshine and
temperatures averaging 18C combined with early tides played to our advantage
with a total of 21 sea bass and 36 Flounders in North Kerry.
Surf
fishing is probably the easiest form of shore fishing – tarvelling light is the
key which increases mobility and reduces minding from the flodding tide. As the
trout season comes to a close my focus is turned to sea angling. For 37 years I
have fished with my father Aiden around the coasts of Ireland. I am glad to say
that my father whom is now in his seventies is still as active as ever, we
continue to take time out togeather fishing in this part of Ireland.
Angling
in North West Kerry is exceptional in that it contains something for everyone.
To miles of sandy beaches with crashing surfs for the angler after Bass, to
quite places like estuaries, piers, and cliffs that sink into deep water. This
part of Ireland has treasures galore to suit all types of fishing, all year
round, containing a variety of fish to match every taste and all within easy
distance of each other.
BASS
It is prohibited to take and kill more than two bass on any
one day. (Bye-law No.667)
The minimum overall size limit of 40cm. From tip of
snout to end of tail. Closed season from 15th May to 15th June.
